2022-2023 DRESS CODE
**Student dress code is always under consideration and is subject to change**
Kindergarten
Students in Kindergarten are not required to follow a prescribed dress code, but should be dressed in a minimum of dress down attire. Children should be dressed comfortably and in clothing that makes it easy for them to use the bathroom independently and participate in age-appropriate activities. We ask that all shirts have sleeves and appropriate wording, pictures, and designs. Shorts (boys and girls) and skirts or dresses (girls) must be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee. Girls leggings may be worn under dresses, but not as pants.
Grades 1 – 12
School clothes should be neat, clean, and modest and must be worn to fit (not oversized or skin-tight). Clothes should have no words or lettering except in the case of small brand labels and have no holes, rips, tears, or frayed edges. The administration reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of clothing and appearance in all situations.
